For all Cervellera products, only animals that live in the wild in the lower Murgia region of Puglia are used. The products are processed using artisanal methods.
The part used to produce this salume is pork or wild boar jowl, carefully trimmed.
Preparation Method
Salting Phase:
The jowl is deboned and salted with the addition of pepper and natural herbs for about 8 days. It is then washed with vin cotto*. After drying, it is seasoned again with natural herbs (pepper, chili pepper, and forest aromas).
Smoking Phase:
The product is smoked for at least one day using oakwood (a local tree found only in the Pianelle Woods of Martina Franca), thyme, and rosemary.
Aging Phase:
The jowl is aged inside a trullo for at least 60 days. This product is commonly used for making "matriciana."
*Vin cotto: a wine obtained by fermenting grape must with the addition of reduced must, boiled down to 1/10 of its volume.
